The problem is that the OP did not say that the thread was about "women in history" (which you're right, it is an interesting topic) but "historical fiction written by women", which is a very different thing. Eg, "historical fiction written by women" would include Lindsey Davis's "Falco" Roman detective series, but that's not what the OP actually wants. Neither would the OP be interested in Hilary Mantel's wonderful "Wolf Hall", because it's not about women.
If you want a particular type of book, it makes sense to accurately specify what it is that you want.
